Exciting news to report: I recently partnered with Paula Smith to co-lead a three-week teen prompt writing workshop at a local middle school. Like the other group, the writers have no intention on stopping. This group will be ongoing after school.
Paula Smith has an English degree from Clemson University. She has edited short story collections and leads teen groups.

With the expansion and success of these groups, Paula and I are in the process of formalizing our programs.
Links to our website and updates will be posted here soon.

I’m pleased to announce a one-day teen prompt workshop on April 26th from 1-4. The group will meet at the Storyteller’s bookstore in downtown Wake Forest. I will be co-leading with my writing partner, Paula Smith. The flyer went out last week and there are now only two spots left so contact me asap if you’re interested.

To all those talented women writers in Raleigh and Wake Forest: Thank you for probing about another women’s prompt group. I will host a one-day group at my home this spring. We will discuss an ongoing option that day. Please contact me if you’d like to join. As always, the group size will be limited and a few are already committed.

We’ve finished the four-week series and I’m so happy to share that every writer would like to continue meeting weekly. This is the power and magic of group writing. Thanks to many people who made this group happen and supported the writers – Storytellers Book Store, great parents, and local teachers.

The group will remain full for now, but if you’d like to be considered for another group please let me know. I have a few lists building for different age groups.

The teen prompt series filled up quick. I’ve been thinking about their stories since our first meeting. Nothing stands in their way when it comes to imagination and the way they supported each other’s work was impressive. This circle of teen writers can create some stories – descriptive, engaging, and depthful stories.

Stay tuned – this idea generated a very positive response. I’ll be looking to build momentum on future groups.
